I. Background

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35), the NRC is requesting public comment on its intention to 
request the OMB's approval for the information collection summarized 
below.
    1. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 664, General 
Licensee Registration.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0198.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number, if applicable: NRC Form 664.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: Annually.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: General Licensees of 
the NRC who possess certain generally licensed devices subject to 
annual registration authorized pursuant to section 31.5 of Title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR).
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 564.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 564.
    9. The estimated number of hours needed annually to comply with the 
information collection requirement or request: 188 hours (564 annual 
responses x \1/3\ hour).
    10. Abstract: NRC Form 664 is used by NRC general licensees to make 
reports regarding certain generally licensed devices subject to annual 
registration. The registration program allows NRC to better track 
general licensees, so that they can be contacted or inspected as 
necessary, and to make sure that generally licensed devices can be 
identified even if lost or damaged. Also, the registration program 
ensures that general licensees are aware of and understand the 
requirements for the possession, use, and disposal of devices 
containing byproduct material. Greater awareness helps to ensure that 
general licensees will comply with the regulatory requirements for 
proper handling and disposal of generally licensed devices and would 
reduce the potential for incidents that could result in unnecessary 
radiation exposure to the public and contamination of property.

II. Specific Requests for Comments

    The NRC is seeking comments that address the following questions:
    1. Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC 
to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical 
utility?
    2. Is the estimate of the burden of the information collection 
accurate?
    3. Is there a way to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected?
    4. How can the burden of the information collection on respondents 
be minimized, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology?

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day of August 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of Information Services.
